Or it could be that Pelini blew this interview as he has blown others before. Overconfidence can kill you in an interview. And after the interview TO and HP decided to go onto Atlanta and see what the search firm had found.
:bonez
Just a thought in view of the fact that the NU job isn't the only one out there.
:dunno
It could be that Bo said No thanks. After all, Miles appears to be headed back to Michigan and with Bo's rep in Baton Rouge, he may already be a shoo in for that HC job, especially if they take the SEC championship and their bowl game.
If Pelini turned down the NU job, it wasn't to become the LSU HC. As someone else just stated, LSU fans are very unhappy with him and there's speculation that he could even be fired if NU doesn't hire hiim. That's an encouraging thought, eh?
Why because
FANS think that he will be fired?
I don't know how closely you've been following all of this, but it's been talked about on the radio numerous times. I heard a Baton Rouge journalist interviewed the other day who said this was a very real possibility since the LSU fan base and administration feel Pelini has vastly underperformed with the talen he has this season. If you look into it you'll find plenty of talk on this. But I'm not saying this will
definitely happen, which is why I used the word "speculation." But the fact that there is speculation about Pelini getting fired after this season suggests that LSU probably won't promote him to HC (and if you remember, that was the original context of my post).
